Your menu bar stays on your Mac.

Last updated September 24, 2026. This page describes the early-access app. Purchases are not open yet.

Screen Recording

With the scrolling row enabled, NotchRail captures images of your hidden menu bar icons, and of the menu you open from the row, so it can show them beside the notch. Images are processed in memory, replaced within seconds and never written to disk or sent anywhere.

Accessibility

NotchRail reads the position of menu bar items and asks apps to open the menu you selected. It does not read windows, documents or keystrokes, and it does not observe the keyboard.

No network, no analytics

The app makes no network connections and contains no analytics or tracking. Your settings are stored locally in your macOS user account.

This website

This site has no analytics scripts, advertising pixels or third-party embeds. Its hosting provider necessarily processes requests, including IP addresses and browser information, to deliver and secure the site.

Payments

When sales open, checkout will be hosted by a payment provider, which will handle payment, order and tax information. This site does not collect card details.

Control

You can revoke either permission in System Settings at any time. NotchRail then falls back to basic hide-and-expand. Removing the app removes its behavior entirely.
